MENA Club officially elected its officers for the 2026–2027 school year! Arielle and Nathan had a wonderful time serving as President and Vice President this past year and are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped build such a strong community. While Arielle will be studying abroad next semester, Nathan will continue serving as an officer, and the club is excited to see where the next year takes MENA Club.

The MENA end-of-year party marked the close of our 2026 spring internship and a year full of meaningful programming. We’re incredibly grateful to our interns and to Program Director Eric Nigh for leading efforts like Model Arab League regionals and many other events that brought our community together. As many know, Eric will be stepping down, and while this transition brings change, we’re confident the MENA program will continue to grow with the support of dedicated interns next year. Grateful for such an eventful and successful year, and excited for what’s ahead.
